Healthy Weight Chart for Women

Each weight chart below is specifically for women. But the numbers are just averages – and should only be used as guidelines. Your ideal healthy weight may be different than what’s on the weight chart.

However there is one hard and fast rule. It concerns your BMI. The BMI (body mass index) is used to determine whether a woman’s health is at risk based on her weight. It’s a ratio of your weight to your height.

A BMI of 18.5 to 25 is considered healthy, whereas a BMI of 25.1 to 29.9 is considered overweight and a 30 or more BMI is considered obese.

You can calculate your BMI here. And you can also have an exact measurement of body-fat done by underwater weighing, bioelectrical impedance or skin-fold caliper.
